The Stroke Riskometer™ in the Outpatient Clinic as an Educational Campaign for Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Observational study in Revista de neurologia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionStroke is highly prevalent worldwide; however, associated symptoms and risk factors are unknown in the general population. Our aim was to describe the knowledge of early signs of stroke and its association with the risk of stroke at 5 and 10 years according to the "Stroke Riskometer™". SUBJECTS AND
methodsThis was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, including adults in the Neurology outpatient clinic of the University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González". Vital signs were recorded, anthropometric and the "Stroke Riskometer™" measurements were collected, and the risks at 5 and 10 yearswere calculated. Patients were questioned about the early signs of stroke (with emphasis on the acronym FAST: F = Face uneven, A = Arm hanging down, S = Speech slurred, T = Time is vital [CAMALEÓN in Spanish]). Spearman's evaluation was used to measure the association between risk and knowledge of signs.
resultsA total of 300 participants were included; 208 (69.3%) were women and the mean age was 54.5 (±14.0) years. The most prevalent risk factors for stroke were sedentary lifestyle (46.3%), high blood pressure (40.0%), and diabetes (31.0%). The population median risk at 5 years was 3.6% (interquartile range (IQR) 1.9-7.0) and at 10 years 6.3% (IQR 3.1-14.0). Of all participants, 31.2% were aware of at least one early sign of stroke. No significant correlation was found between awareness of early signs and risk at 5 or 10 years (r = 0.039, p = 0.5; r = -0.05, p = 0.380, respectively).
conclusionsKnowledge of the signs of stroke is low but remains an ongoing goal for educational campaigns in Mexico. A large-scale national and long-lasting campaign is necessary, given the high risk of stroke in the population.
